I am learning the ropes with my Woodland Scenics Static King static grass applicator. But I am having trouble finding a suitable dark green colour. I have WS dark, medium and light green grass in various lengths. Also some Peco summer grass, 4mm. But these greens all look too bright and artificial to my eye, reminding me of Astro-turf. The pictured grass is a mix of WS 2, 4, and 7mm dark green with about 25% medium green. I prefer the darker shades of the WS clump foliage in the right foreground which are Dark Green and Forest Blend .
Does anyone know of a darker green static grass made by other manufacturers? Or could I dry brush the grass tips with some darker green? Or a dusting of dark with an air brush? Would powders work? What about Pan Pastel? They make a dark green and it could likely be brushed lightly through the grass. Would dullcote spray have any effect? Open for any ideas. Thanks.
